Description
By adjusting the brightness of the screen to a medium level, between 15-20% of energy can be saved. With a low level brightness, which is fixed in many laptops by default when they work with the battery, energy savings up to 40% can be achieved.
Benefits
Simple, energy savings between 10 and 20% can be achieved with proper training
Easy application
The benefits are not only in terms of energy savings, but also in vision health. A low brightness avoids eyes stressing
Limitations
Occupant acceptance
Economic assessment
The cost is zero, although it is convenient to train and inform properly employees and users on these issues.
